Early surprise with Portugal losing to Georgia?

[Dan LCFC]

These hosts are getting weirder and weirder. How on earth has that ended up being a pairing?

Both put in a bid for it and UEFA said you can have half each.

Watched the tale end of the England - Czech game. Was stroll for England, in my lifetime; the quality of the youth teams has improved so much but they just seem to fail at the crucial moments. 

[Super_horns]

England will probably play Portugal in the last 8 after the Portuguese got a late winner to go through in 2nd place behind Georgia .

Tough draw, I think most expected portugal to win the group giving england an easier game.

Well they only got through as the Netherlands were held by Georgia who really defined the odds !

 

Belgium finished bottom .

[RowlattsFox]

Not too many comments on this tournament but another good win for England against Germany. 90 minutes for Luke Thomas too.

Amazed that this isn't televised.

 

Just gone 1-0 up against Portugal.

No, Arsenal full back 

[CosbehFox]

Lee Carsley is born from Southgate tactics. Got the goal and stuck ten men behind it 

[st albans fox]

Carsley will spend the next three days working out how not to start Luke now he has lost both the right backs he was playing ahead of him to suspension 

[Super_horns]

Channel 4 got the final .

5 o clock kick off, going to watch it

[LCFCJohn]

That just looks such a square pegs in round holes side! I guess you have got this far so probably shouldn’t question it. But Garner at right back? Thought he was a central midfieler. Aarons at left back not on the right with Luke on the left? Gordon and Gibbs White up top. No striker in the side!

[TJQuik]

Not looking good so far

[Nalis]

We would be doing extremely well to get Cole Palmer on loan.

[Super_horns]

Not watching as out .

Presume we are getting dominated in possession?

Looks the best England player here. We'd do extremely well. He's too good for this league.

Agreed. Far and away the best player for England.

I've only stuck it on in the last 10 minutes and it seems pretty even possession wide. No idea before that though.

[Nalis]

Deflected goal, they all count!
